Of Note

• Wesley Matthews will not play Wednesday due to a hip injury.
• After previously never scoring 25 points or more in a game in his career, Seth Curry has bested that total twice in the last three games with 31 against Minnesota and 29 against Miami.
• Nerlens Noel is a +16 in the 55 minutes he has played in his two games as a Mav.
• Dirk now stands 59 points shy of 30,000 for his career. After Wednesday the Mavs return home for five straight games, so expect him to reach the mark sometime during that homestand.
• The Mavericks have lost 6 in a row to the Hawks with their last win coming on opening night of the 13-14 season.
